HELM GUIDED STUDY PROGRAM

The purpose of HELM

The goal of the HELM website is to help us become whole, integrated, balanced, mature, and complete human beings who understand and master the human experience. It also includes a spiritual component that helps us realize our greater identity as the eternal, immortal, totality of existence.

The right attitude towards a self-development program

Study, understanding, and success takes time and practice yet know that you will reap the benefits. The right attitude towards any self-development program, like HELM, is to nurture towards yourself the qualities of;

Self Respect

Kindness

Patience

Tolerance

Committment (to the practice)

Firm and fair

Balance: not underdoing or overdoing, and taking it gradually

Steady and regular in practice: make it part of your daily routine

Compassionate: you will make mistakes, be kind, gentle, and forgiving

Love

Wisdom: be sensible, don't expect perfection in one day, and keep at it

Developing yourself is not unlike being a parent to a child. The child is our body, heart (emotions), and mind (that which is being developed). The parent is our higher self (the soul) that is wanting to develop the "child." How to do this successfully? You don't confuse, beat, bully,and be nasty to the "child", setting unrealistic goals, you treat the "child" with love, respect, forgiveness, firmness, and you explain the process so that the child is not confused as to why it is happening.
